Ginbot 7 is exploiting the anger and frustration of patriotic Ethiopians by falsely claiming that it has launched a massive military attack against the Woyanne fascist junta. I have been working hard to gather as much information as I could about the alleged military action since last week when ESAT reported about it. Here is what I found out.

Over the past several months, there have been building up of tensions and occasional exchanges of gun fire south of Humera in the Wolkait Tegede region of northern Ethiopia between the Woyanne ruling party militia and a group of Wolkait Tegede farmers. The clashes are taking place because Woyanne businessmen were pushing out the local people from their land. Multiple sources from Wolkait Tegede have informed me that large swaths of land between Humera and the town of Dansha have been taken over by Woyanne businessmen after evicting the local farmers -- similar to the kind of land grab we are witnessing in western Ethiopia. Over the past few months, the Woyanne regime has also imposed heavy tax on the remaining farmers. Forcing the Wolkait Tegede people to conduct business and hold meetings in Tigrigna language have also been further points of contention. They believe that Woyanne is carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign against them. Many of the farmers have had it and are fighting back. It is this rebellion by the Wolkait Tegede people that Ginbot 7 is claiming as a military attack by its emaciated would-be fighters.

Initially, the Woyanne junta had dismissed Ginbot 7's claim, but after thinking about it, they decided to go along with it so that they can use the report as a political cover if they decide to unleash their full military might against the Wolkait Tegede people as a pretext of fighting against the Eritrean regime.

I have interviewed several people who claim to have families in the region. Only two of them tried to convince me that the armed clash with the Woyanne militia may have been instigated by Ginbot 7 fighters. But even they admitted that the Wolkait Tedege people have been revolting against Woyanne over the past several months because of the intensified land grabbing. When I asked another person who is also from the region about Ginbot 7's claim, he laughed. He, too, confirmed to me that the people are currently up in arms and expressed his fear that the Woyanne military might carry out a genocidal war against them, using Ginbot 7 claim as a political cover, to solidify Tigray state's control over the Humera fertile region that was annexed from Gondar.

The newly merged Arbegnoch Ginbot 7 has about 100 fighters in Eritrea and those are not capable of carrying out any serious military operation because most of them are suffering from various easily preventable illnesses and malnutrition. Both Shabia and Ginbot 7 are not providing them with water sanitizing tablets (cost less than 50 cents), adequate food and training. Those fighters that Ginbot 7 is showing us on photos and videos are TPDM's well-fed and well-trained fighters who are receiving special attention from Shabia, according to my sources inside Eritrea.

This is not the first time for Ginbot 7 to claim some thing it did not do. For example, when a group of military officers mutinied in 2009, Ginbot 7 claimed that it was the mastermind behind it. The mutiny, however, was organic and it was caused by the ethnic apartheid system that TPLF instituted in the military. None of those officers who took part in the mutiny had joined Ginbot 7 when they escaped to Eritrea. Col. Alebel Amare, one of the leaders of the mutiny, and others can testify to that.

Arbegnoch Ginbot 7 and its puppet-master Shabia are spreading false news about a military attack that they did not carry out in a crude attempt to raise funds from patriotic Ethiopians who are desperate for action against Woyanne, and to also firmly establish Shabia's influence over the Ethiopian opposition camp.

If the funds that are being raised actually go to the fighters who are sheltered in Eritrea, one may tolerate the false propaganda. But that is not the case. The money is not going to the fighters. In the past 3 months, Arbegnoch Ginbot 7 has raised some $200,000 from Ethiopians in Europe and Australia. Not a penny of those funds were used to buy food, medicine, and other supplies for the malnutritioned fighters in Eritrea. A large portion of the funds that are being raised in the Diaspora go to pay salary for Ginbot 7 executive committee members in the U.S. and Europe, and for their travel expenses, such as staying in 5-star hotels in European and American cities. That would have also been tolerated to a certain extent if the remaining funds are used to provide food, vitamins and medicine to the unfed, parasite-stricken fighters in Eritrea, according to my sources inside the organization. Disagreements over disappearing funds, lack of accountability, and underhanded tactics are currently threatening to fracture the merger between Arbegnoch and Ginbot 7. The merger is held together only by Shabia threats.

In my next report, I will provide more details about the fracturing of the Arbegnoch-Ginbot 7 merger and its causes.

This apply to this story you unleashed Elias. Honestly speaking, the only reason I belive you now than ever is, because you have actually traveled to Asmera, and have seen everything yourself. That is quite a difference between Dr. Brhanu Nega who has not left America, for a single day to even visit the "army" he is building, and sending them to their death. There are so many issues with that, but for now I would leave you with the following joke from the internet:

At least Elias went to Asmera and posted a picture, you went to the local Eritrean community center and posted a postcard.

Great agame
How many times you want me to post?? Go back search the Picture I posted from asmera...you are only fool blind by inferiority and jealousy otherwise Eritrea got satellite TV show update video and life TV you can Watch there ..ok

I am sorry for you. I think you should check a doctor-a psychatrist. I know you have become an expert on virtual struggle. You sit there in your little room and create things out of blue and then boom. You send it on the internet. That is what a virtual struggle. You have never been imprisoned or have never participated in actual struggle. I am not sure if you have ever participated in a single demonstration either.

By the way, I have always suspected you as a TPLF mole infiltrating the opposition for many years. You always come at critical time in the struggle, and sabotage the struggle by changing the main agenda and derailing the focus of the movement.

I think this will be your last try. Many people have finally know who Elias Kifle is. I am sorry for you. Perhpas, you should come out of your disguise and delcare who you really are.
